How To Make And Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Fill a saucepan halfway with water and place eggs in a single layer. Make sure the eggs are covered with water, about half an inch.
Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil, leaving the pot uncovered.
Turn off the heat, place the lid on the pot, and set a timer for 11–13 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.
Strain the water from the pot and run cold water over the eggs to stop the cooking.
To peel, gently tap the large end of the egg on the counter and remove the shell.
